A Very Rem markab1e Bouquet.
The king of Holland received, on his seven
Geth birthday, very remarkable gift from
the queen. Her majesty, upon congratulate
ing the king, told him that she had a large
bouquet of flowers for him, but it was SO
heavy that she had asked the ladies in waiting
to bring it in. The door was opened, and
several ladies entered carrying an immense
bouquet, which they placed before the king.
His majesty was greatly surprised when sud-
denly the top of the bouquet opened, and the
head of his infant daughter peeped through
the flowers. The king was delighted with
| this pretty surprise, which we should think
has not been equaled since the days of the
flour and twenty blackbirds. - Home

utilization of Lignite.

Lgnite, which is half formed coal, has
not up to this time attracted much atten-
ton as a combustible, but there are
yeveral parts Of the earth in which it is
found in abundance; in some cases, no.
tably in Italy, to the exclusion of coal.
In Italy there is no coal; the railway To-
comotives are kept going by means of
imported coal, and if Italy were to go to
war it would not be- able even to keep up
its railway service, for coal is, above
most things, a contraband of war. The
Italian government has taken this matter
up and given orders to its railway service
to make the locomotives such that either
coal or Ignite may be burned by them,
| and this will give a stimulus to the work
| ing of the extensive beds of Ignite which
lie about the center of the peninsula,
| half way between the Mediterranean and
| Adriatic. On the line of the Northern
| Pacific and on the Canadian Pacific rail-
ways Ignite is found in great quantities,
and locomotives will be constructed for
it's utilization. Francisco Chronicle.

Charter Amendments Again.

The city council has again opened
1 he amendment question. They had
better have left it alone. They intro
duced into the discussion Saturday
night the action of the meeting held
at the Knights of Labor hall short
time since, which objected to the city
borrowing money at greater interest
than per cent at par as well as a
general objection to the amendments
in toto. Mr.. Carter was earnest in
cutting out all amendments except The
two first. He was not in favor of a
committee being appointed, as sug-
gested by Mr. Mahoney, to meet a
committee of the Knights of Labor;
for the city council, he said, acting as
they did, did so not as a city conncil,
but as citizens, believing their action
would cary more weight with ii
when the matter was considered by
the state legislature. Now they have
appointed meeting for Tuesday night
at the city hall, and invited everybody
to come and discuss the question, all
of which is very right, but some peo-
pie who have the mayors bee in their
bonnets had better be careful; in tact
there must be care exercised, or the
object nost desired will be defeated.

City Bank Tax.

Assessor and Collector House took
the bull bv the horns last week and
compromised with the City National
Bank for their tax on basis of one
half the sum charged on the rolls
Clearly M. House had no right to do
this without action by the council, but
he believed it ought to be done, we
presume, and he did it regardless OF
consequences. The matter had been
referred to the finance committee, but
it was too slow for Mr.. House and
the bank, and so they settled; and the
committee Saturday night at the
meeting Of the council opened their
eyes and whistled when Mr.. House
informed them what he had done.
They accepted the situation and Mr..
BookhouL remarked that il looked as
if the collector had superseded the
finance committee; but, however, he
proceeded to say that the committee
could not have done better short of a
law suit, and he moved the adoption
of the report of Mr.. House.

SCHOOL LAND BILL.
Members OF the Conference Commit
tee Substantially Agree Upon IL
Bill With Discriminating
Herd Feature.

AUSTIN, March est is now under
stood that al tho members of the con-
ference committee except Senator
Houston will sign the report on the
senate school land bill. Mr., Browning
signs, although the bill does not meet
his entire approval. but is bet
ter than the existing land law.
The objection of the land commission
or 10 the clause which permitted the
occupant of the land TO establish n
preference right to purchase before it
had been classified and placed on the
market has been obviated by striking
out the clause. AS amended by the
conference committee it establishes,
as between lessees and purchasers, n
discriminating herd law feature
against the purchase. lie is not per-
United to turn out stock upon the
leased lands surrounding his purchase
in greater number than one head TO
every ten acres of his purchase wheih-
or the leased land be enclosed or open.
This feature is expected TO remove
the objection of cattlemcn and prac-
tical, make leases which will be pro-
tected from the rowing free grazicrs
who would purchase one section and
turn in upon the leased premises
thousand head of cattle
Land fit only tor grazing may be
Internationally leased, and pending
the lease are not subject TO purchase.
But as all the school lands worth lea.-
ing are fit for farming, precious few
unconditional leases will be made.
The rainfall in the west may not be
sufficient for farming purposes, but
the lands are fertile and will some day
be utilized for agriculture. The bill
as perfected will probably be adopted
by both houses and approved by The
governor. In some respects the house
amendments conform more closely
to the governors view expressed i'll
the campaign than the bill did
as originally framed, but TO that ex-
tent perhaps render the lease feature
less promising. In the most impor-
tant features it reverses the polio. of
the Slate Land Board, especially in
permitting both the sale and lease OF
the watcrrd lands. The reservation OF
watered lands by The land board per-
petuate the possession and free use of
the bulk of the lands by the free gra-
ziers and retarded settlement by farm
crs along the streams.

The Haddock Murder Trial.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, March 2S- Satur
day was the fourth day of the Had
dock murder trial, am. the interest in
the case is intensified ms the taking OF
testimony proceeds. Important wit
nesscs for the prosecution are being
held in reserve, those examined Satur-
day consisting of residents in the inn
mediate vicinit, of the tragedy. The
most important OF Ihis number was
an old man named Van Dugham, who
stated that the f I'm and carriage of
the man he saw pass his window, and
who started on run after the
hot was fired and proceed
ing from the scene of the murder, was
John Arensdorf. This bit of direct
testimony created flutter of excite
mont, bnt the testimony was not un-
expected by the defendant. The cross
examination of this witness was UNI
usually rigorous, al a contradictory
line of evidence was produced and
clearly admitted between his former
statements 1T the coroner's inquest and
his testimony before the g;and jury
Another important bit of testimony
vas given by John Fitzsimmon, who
was looking out of the Columbus
house door when the shot was fired
and through the darkness saw the as
sassin commit the deed, but it was too
dark TO recognize him further than TO
state that the color of his pants was
light. The man who fired tue shot
was towards the bridge.

THE prohibition battle has opened
in earnest and the big guns" are AT
work. Coke and Gibbs have entered
the contest against the amendment.
The above from the Santa Anna
News is incorrect, as concerns Senator
Coke. The Fort Worth Gazette did
publish on Sunday OF last week II
synopsis of Senator Cokc's sp, ech
against prohibition two years ago,
probably as paid matter. But Senator
Coke opposed prohibition then be-
cause he considered it antagonistic TO
Democratic principles, and he did ii
earnestly and tearlessly; but since
then the Democracy OF Texas
in State convention has declared
virtually that prohibition is
Democratic, and Senator Coke .hows
his high regard for the expressions of
his party by declining TO oppose the
measure this year. That emphatic
declaration OF the State DEMOCRACY
makes a great difference with Senator
Coke, and so it should with every 9TH
er true Democrat. All honor TO Coke.

"SUNDAY HEADING"

So far as we have heard, the prohi-
bitionists of Texas favor fair, friend
ly. discussion and settlement of the Is
sues involved in the pending campaign.
Some of the ants seem TO have appe-
tites for the opposite and less respec-
table method. they gave us speci-
men of their litcI ature yesterday,
which many friends Of the News will
not consider very wholesome Sunday
reading. BY stabbing the preachers"
and christians" the author seeks to
weaken the prohibition cause. In an
article of little more than column all
these are 'ound:
Two-thirds of the delegates to the
Waco convention were preachers.
The principal speakers at every pro-
hibition convention so far have been
ministers of the gospel.
All over Texas good church MEM
bers arc expressing determination
to have ministers who will not run
their churches into politics.
There are thousands of religious
men and women in Texas who will
either quit church or change minis
ters before they will permit n political
to be made religious question.
The Waco prohibition resolutions
Resolved, /. "God has given he gov
crnment OF Texas TO his saints" Re-
solved, 2. I'VE are his saints"
The intolerant portion of the minis
try will find it uphill business TO COLI
vince people that they must vote for
prohibition.
The prohibitionists are yelling:
"rurn out Christians! Turn out. Tor
Gods sake turn out! Jim Biles is sell

A man that mistreats his wife when
he is drinking does it when he is sober,
and man who loves his family VIXEN

after his eating because one dyspeptic
III " HllIIlli 10 NoioN IMAM UNIV vi uhN-
ards.
Most ministers and Christians are
prohibitionists, but this fact will not
iniurc the cause, as our anti friend
Imagines. A great many men are
prohbtionists who are not preachers
or Christians, and others will become
such rather than endorse this abuse of
preachers and ridicue of religion.
There is nothing like argument in
any of the above paragraphs. They
are i'll natured appeals to prejudice
and very poor appeals at that. The
last two are palpably untrue. A man
may never mistreat his wife when
sober who is sure to do So when
drunk. We all know this. We also
know that zone dyspeptic is" not
worse than three drunkards." The
ants will have tv do better than this.
The News, an avowed anti, is ashamed
of the article, and, besides charging a
round price for its publication, finds it
necessary to state editorlally that it
elements OF bitterness which
it does not approve.
